sdist
In Python, an sdist, or source distribution, is a package format for source code.
sdist is one of two standard formats for packaging and distributing Python packages on PyPI, the other being wheel. sdist is the older of the two formats, although it is still widely used.
An sdist is a compressed archive (.tar.gz) that contains the source code of a Python
package as well as metadata and files needed to install the package (typically with
pip).
